Maple-Glazed Five-Spice Pork

Clock

Ingredients

  •  1 Tbsp canola oil
  • 5 lbs pork butt, trimmed
  • Kosher salt
  • 4 Tbsp Chinese five-spice powder
  • 5 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 1½ cups maple syrup
  • ½ cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 3 Tbsp rice vinegar
  • 1 lime, halved, plus 3 Tbsp fresh lime juice
  • Cooked rice, scallions, red chiles and limes for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 275°F. Heat oil in Dutch oven on medium-high. Season pork with 2 tsp salt and 2 Tbsp five-spice powder and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, 10 to 12 minutes; transfer to bowl and discard all but 2 Tbsp fat.
  2. Return pot to medium, add garlic and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, 6 min. Stir in maple syrup, soy sauce, vinegar, lime halves and remaining 2 Tbsp five-spice powder; bring to a simmer.
  3. Return pork to pot, cover, transfer to oven and cook, turning after 2 hr. (adjust oven temp to keep the liquid at a slow simmer) until meat is tender, 4 hr. Uncover, return to oven and cook until deep golden brown, 30 min.
  4. Remove pork from liquid, discard lime halves and skim off and discard fat. Simmer liquid until slightly thickened, 15 min. Stir in lime juice. Shred pork into chunks, discarding fat; fold into sauce. Serve with rice, scallions, chiles and lime.
